Pollinators affect 35% of global agricultural land, supporting the production of 87 of the leading food crops worldwide.* The vast majority of pollinators are wild, including over 20,000 species of bees. Australia is home to approximately 2,000 native bee species. Together with the European honey bee,
Apis mellifera, they are keystone pollinators of our forests, fodder, flowers, fibre and food crops.
